Splatoon 3's Latest Splatfest Chucks Cute Baby Animals Into The Ring

GO BEAR CUBS GO!!!
Actually really excited for this fest. Plus the ink colors look sick
Edit: also why is it lil chicks and not little chicks? are lil chicks rappers? will they join deep cut for a performance?

Can I pet that dawg??? (Go Team Bearcub!!!!)

Team Bunny for me, though I'd support Team Chick as well if I could choose one more side!

I don't care for the bears, at all

Hmm, I've never eaten bear before so I don't think it's fair to vote until I do. Luckily there is a Russian restaurant near me!

I feel like Nintendo goes out of their way to come up with the most uninteresting ideas for Splatfests.

Remember the first game when we had SpongeBob vs Patrick? Can we do that again but add Squidward to the mix this time? They even referenced the "is mayonnaise an instrument?" meme.

Not sure what I'll choose yet but team bear cub feels out of place here to me.

Looking forward to it regardless though! Special fests are always nice.

@Not_Soos There are only so many questions that won't annoy/offend some portion of the audience.

Also, you can't imagine how unfathomably boring that theme is to someone who doesn't care about Spongebob lol

Also, Team Bunny!

I love rabbits so Team "Lil Bunnies" for me!!

The in-universe reason for Bear Cub even being an option will be... interesting.

It’s funny to think that none of these animals even exist in the Splatoon world lol

Grilled chicken is my favorite food, so I'll pick Team Baby Chicks. Plus, you can't go wrong with Shiver's team.

Team Li'l Bunnies. Bunnies are cute when they are young and they are cute, when they are grown up.

I like bunnies since Nu Pagadi.

First theme in a while where there isnt an obvious most popular choice, I love it! Plus pretty pastel ink too!

Dang it, and its on another weekend I work. RIP me.

@Not_Soos Somehow I don't think collaborating with Nickelodeon is greatest move right now.

Oooh, tough choice this time around! BTW, the special gear article is already available, @nintendolife

was gonna be bunnies when found it on the switch feed...till I saw that bear.

I think I like bunnies the best. Partially because I like bunnies in general and partially because it would be kind of nice for Frye to finally win another Splatfest. I like all three members of the group but Shiver has won 9 times and Big Man has won 4, while Frye has still only won once.

WHAT KIND OF SPLATFEST IS THIS???
No actually, who thought of this idea.

I gotta go bunnies! They are way to adorable.

Well, it is Autumn for us at the South.

The same team needed 6 Animal Crossing before to acknowledge the Southern Hemisphere , so perhaps in Splatoon 6 they will do this.

Oh, for crying out loud. How is it that I have the worst luck with the timing of these Splatfests? I always end up working for half the weekend! And here I thought that, with my schedule being changed a couple months ago, I'd be able to get the whole weekend to play, but now Nintendo has changed their schedule for the Splatfests, too!

Anyway, I'm Team Bunny.

They're furry, they're funny, they're Babs and Buster Bunny! 🐇

Bears! My adorable galoot of a dog already looks close enough to be a bear to the point that people on the street thought he was one, so it would be wrong if I don’t step up for my cuddly bears.

@SpeedRunRocks I was totally going with team bear cubs since I was a Cubs fan growing up, but this post may make me re-consider. Luckily I have a couple of weeks to choose my allegiance. haha

@OctolingKing13 It's Li'l Bunnies, and Baby Chicks, but you gave me the wholesome image of tiny chicks bouncing and running around the stage with Deep Cut, and the cuteness levels are reaching critical overload!

Well, just caught the results ahead of this article being updated. Bunnies got the most votes but it still wasn't enough. Now the Splatfest win total here in the US is 9-1-5. Poor Frye is definitely becoming the underdog (undersquid?) in this game lol.
